SAVE 15%: As of Sept. 15, the LG 45GX950A-B 45-inch Ultragear 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor is on sale for $1,699.99 at Amazon, down from its list price of $1,999.99. That's a 15% discount and $300 in savings.


Every so often, a piece of gaming hardware comes along that feels truly next-generation. LG's 45-inch Ultragear OLED monitor is one of those pieces. It's the self-proclaimed "world's first 5K2K OLED gaming monitor," and it's packed with an absurd amount of high-end tech. If you've been waiting for a deal to justify a serious battlestation upgrade, this is one to watch.

As of Sept. 15, you can get the LG 45GX950A-B 45-inch Ultragear 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor on sale for $1,699.99 at Amazon, down from its list price of $1,999.99. That's a 15% discount and $300 in savings.

The massive 45-inch curved OLED screen features an ultra-wide panel with an 800R curve that's designed to fill your field of view. Thanks to the OLED technology, you'll be able to see deep blacks and vibrant colors, with a peak brightness of up to 1300 nits and DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification.

What really sets this monitor apart, though, is its unique "Dual Mode." Just press a hotkey, and you can switch between two different settings. For graphically rich, story-driven games, you can run it in its full 5K2K resolution at 165Hz. For competitive, fast-paced games like FPS or racing titles where every frame counts, you can switch to Wide Full HD resolution at an "electrifying" 330Hz. It's like having two specialized monitors in one.
